{"product_id":"say-what-i-am-ben-waggoner-9781941136119","title":"Say What I Am: A Book of Old English Riddles","description":"Say What I Am collects forty-nine of the best of the Old English riddles found in the Exeter Book, the largest surviving collection of Old English poetry, plus two more found in other manuscripts. Carefully translated by Ben Waggoner, these riddles provide a unique look into the Anglo-Saxon worldview. Through their poetry, common tools and household objects-a key, a plough, an oven, a butter churn-are shown to possess hidden beauty, humor, and wonder. Birds, bees, plants, beasts, men and women, and even stars are described in rich metaphor, often getting a chance to speak for themselves. These riddles make a witty and charming introduction to the culture and daily life of Anglo-Saxon England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Waggoner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941136117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941136119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Troth, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Ben Waggoner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241577918719,"sku":"9781941136119","price":28.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52e5e075-a083-48ba-81c6-c6557e244fed.jpg?v=1772655090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/say-what-i-am-ben-waggoner-9781941136119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
